How to cure allergies with sublingual immunotherapy

Sublingual immunotherapy, long popular in Europe, is steadily gaining advocates--and practitioners--in the US. You receive increasingly potent extracts of symptom-triggering allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, or pollen from grass, trees, or ragweed. You treat yourself at home, up to three times daily, with a prescription-only liquid or tiny pill.
